Governor Abbott Vows Texas Dems Will Be Arrested Upon Return to State
Republican Texas Governor Abbott confirmed Monday that the absent Democratic lawmakers who defected from a legislative session in a protest “walk-out” will be arrested upon their return to the state.
During an appearance on The Ingraham Angle on Fox News, the governor slammed the legislators who “fled” the state to deny the Texas GOP quorum, or the minimum number of members required to conduct a session. The Democrats walked out to prevent the advancement of a key elections reform measure, which includes limits on 24-hour and early voting and mass mail-in ballot distributions, and more requirements for absentee ballot identification.
Abbott said that Texas House members can call for the arrest of their Democratic counterparts who ditch the vote, claiming they’re disrupting the legislative process when they have a duty to be represent their constituents in chamber.

“We have special sessions that last 30 days,” Abbott said. “And the governor calls them, and I will continue calling special session after special session because over time it is going to continue until they step up to vote.”
